Ox 9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles

Authentic Chinese LanZhou Ramen! Many other tasty snacks, highly recommended!

Highly recommend their pork intestine noodle soup! It's a new item on their menu and it's quite delicious. They also give a good amount of noodles unlike most places. Not a lot of adjustments when ordering.. you can choose the type/size of noodles but can't remove items like cilantro or scallions if you hate those. Spiciness is pretty much set too.

Meh. I've been a few times, most to try different things and figure out why this place gets rave reviews. Nearest I can figure is that I just don't know what "authentic" cuisine is, but without that knowledge, things here just fall flat. The broth for the noodles is rather bland. I recommend getting the "long wide" noodle option, because those are the only noodles that seem different than what you can get from the grocery store. Anything listed as "spicy" isn't. You can tell there's some chili there, but it's mostly just a fruity flavor and no chili spice. Anything listed as "crispy" isn't. Chewy, gummy, greasy, soggy maybe, but not crispy. I mean, maybe this is the perfect representation of a cuisine you get in your hometown, and power to you if this is what makes you happy, but if I'm looking for a tasty bowl of noodles and broth, or basically anything else on the menu, I'll go elsewhere.

Vegetarian options: tasty

Big portions here! We got a lot of things to try. The noodles are done well but we actually preferred the chicken appetizer over the beef in the soup. The wontons were okay

I got the regular round and the widest flat noodles. They're not the chewy kind and are a bit on the softer side. They give you a good amount of noodles but the meat wise they were thin and only a few pieces. The spice level is not adjustable and it's mild at most. So it's not spicy but they do have chili oil on the side. The broth is quite flavorful but not overwhelmingly strong with msg. You have to use the tablet to wait list and don't get discouraged by the numbers on there. It's not the number in line but the number of people served. So if you're number 40, it doesn't mean you're 40 in line. Count the numbers on the front page and that's the actual number of people in line. The wait was around 15 mins at 6 so it was not bad at all.

Good food just really small area but gets very busy

Have been here a few times throughout the year and they never disappoint! The noodles are very long but absolutely delicious! I am a big fan of the large flat ones. Their broth is a perfect blend of spice and salt and their pork is always cooked perfectly and falls right off the bone! They have very fast service and every worker I’ve encountered has been friendly. They bring our food out within 10 minutes of ordering, even on busy weekends.
